Remember, it's pronounced "Squim."
It's in the rain shadow of the Olympics, so it gets less rain than Seattle year-round but most importantly in the winter. It is a popular place to retire, and there is a large population of seniors. Expanding on what Paul suggested, I would suggest talking with senior couples to ask about the community and the winter rain (because younger locals may give misleading info to try to discourage population growth, especially from California).
Port Townsend isn't in the rain shadow so much, but is well worth the drive. Many Seattleites love to visit the peninsula, and you'll likely see Porsche owners out for a drive.
